Please bear with me....
Me and my wife drove 7 hours from MD yesterday with my 2 daughters. Today....we dropped the oldest daughter at Dean College to start her freshman year. As you can imagine, this evening was challenging for us to manage our emotions. After dinner I could sense the emotions building in my wife. I asked if she wanted a class of wine.
